As you press the buttons to program, it will be helpful to have
an overview of how they are organized. Press the MODE button
to rotate through the switch timer’s modes: CALendar, CLocK,
ProGraM, AUTO, AUTORANDom, and MANual.
Within each mode, menus “loop”, so they repeat when you
get to the end.
You must set the CALendar and CLocK before programming
ON/OFF times.
If you’re interrupted during programming, your work to that
point is automatically saved after 5 minutes.

The two LR44/SR44 alkaline batteries maintain calendar and
time settings during power interruptions for up to 3 months
of accumulated interruptions. All other settings remain in
memory indefinitely without batteries or AC power.
Remove batteries if the switch timer will be without AC power
for an extended time.
Replace the batteries if the display is dim or displays “lobAT”.
Batteries may be changed without removing AC power.
If AC power is removed, swap batteries within 15 seconds to
avoid losing time-of-day and calendar settings.
Remove the battery holder by prying left and right of the holder
with the tip of a flat screwdriver, then pry the battery holder up.
Install new batteries in the battery holder as marked, then
place it back into the switch timer with notch down.
If the display flashes “12:00,” reset time and check the date.

ing your settings by a random amount of ± 20 minutes or so.
MANual — maintains your settings but operates the switch
timer like a standard ON/OFF. Press on the door of the switch
timer for ON, press again for OFF.

For a two-switch setup (3-way) when reusing the existing 3-way
remote switch:
NOTE: For new construction or to replace a dimmer switch, a
lighted switch, or a 3-way switch without screw terminals, a
single-pole switch can be used at the remote location, as shown
below.
For a two-switch setup (3-way) using single-pole remote switch:
For a three-switch setup:
For four or more switch setups:
Use the preceding 3-switch installation diagram and wire 4-way
switches between the two 3-way switches.
